- Ideal learning environment Our lecturers have a high level of expertise and international experience, which they're happy to pass on to you. The small learning groups of students from all over the world receive personal and intensive support.
- Choose your own focus From the 3rd semester onwards, you are in the main study programme and have two options - you can complete the technical part of your studies specialising in either Mechanical Engineering (in English) or Medical Engineering (bilingual).
- Gain experience During a semester abroad, you can perfect your language skills and gain important intercultural experience - in Shanghai, France, Spain or South America!
- More than just theory We've planned an internship semester so that you can put your theoretical knowledge into practice straight away. You can spend this at home or abroad with a company of your choice and gain groundbreaking experience!
The internationally oriented International Engineering degree programme offers you a unique combination of technology (specialising in mechanical engineering or medical technology), languages and business. We want you to gain as much practical and international experience as possible - giving you the best starting conditions for a successful international career!
Discover your preferences
From the third semester onwards, you will be taking your advanced level courses and can choose between specialising in mechanical engineering or medical technology. And then there is the exciting decision of where you'd like to spend your semester abroad! Studying at one of our numerous partner universities worldwide is free of charge for you.
Practical conclusion
After the semester abroad, numerous interesting internship and thesis options await you. You choose a company in which you would like to work for a semester – and often the topic for your bachelor's thesis is found there (as well as many contacts!). With the IEB degree, you have excellent opportunities on the national and international job market.
To apply for IEB, you need a university entrance qualification.
Incidentally, this does not necessarily have to be an Abitur – you can find Internal link opens in the same window:information on studying without an Abitur here.
You must have good English language skills (at least B2 or equivalent) for admission.
For the specialisation in medical engineering, you need a German level of B2 (but not until the 3rd semester).
